not much to report with progress with any mods, I managed to get a dyno reading which showed the car is running at 239.4 bhp and at the time showed no issues, that didn’t last for long though.
while the weather has been mega I noticed an overheating
problem when the car is standing in traffic, the fans weren’t coming on until much later than they should have been doing, and on one occasion didn’t come on until the engine was turned off. Before I’d had chance to remedy the
problem, on what would normally be a straight drive to work I run into traffic caused by a slow moving, steam powered tractor and true to form the needle rose almost into the danger zone before I had chance to stop.
I stopped as soon as I was able to do so to let the engine cool and all seemed fine until a few days later. I noticed once or twice the car seemed to misfire, finally on the third misfire I got an engine management light indicating P0016 and P0171 faults. It assume the heat from the engine has damaged the casing of the crankshaft position sensor in some way so tomorrow I’ll be hunting for the part to get it replaced and then on to checking the fans.
